Chapter 639. Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object)

"Fellow Daoist, you've been too generous."

Eldrin spoke with a hint of embarrassment, then swiftly retrieved the 7-Colored Immortal Pearl.

Considering the immense value of the 7-Colored Immortal Pearl (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) spoke solemnly, "Rest assured, I will help you establish a powerful mountain-protecting formation. May I ask what you intend to use as the formation's core?"

"Let us employ the 9 Dragons Wheel."

Seraphina Qu declared, producing the 9 Dragons Wheel.

Although her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, she actually possessed very few high-grade spirit treasures. This 9 Dragons Wheel could be considered the only peerless treasure in her possession that was truly presentable.

Seeing his opponent produce the 9 Dragons Wheel as the formation’s core artifact, Eldrin remarked, “With this treasure as the formation anchor, combined with the fifth-grade, superior spiritual vein of the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool, we shall undoubtedly establish a world-shaking array.”

Eldrin spoke these words and began setting up the formation for her. The process consumed a full 3 months before the formation was finally completed.

After setting up the formation, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) made an attempt to activate the 9 Dragons Coil using the formation's power.

The 9 Dragons Coil was originally a Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure) of astonishing power. Now, bolstered by the fifth-grade upper-tier spirit vein and the aqueous energy of the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location), it truly erupted with breathtaking might.

As Seraphina Qu channeled her power, the 9 Dragon Coil transformed into 9 rampaging flood dragons soaring forth. Each possessed the might of Nascent Soul, 7th Tier, with the most formidable among them rivaling even a consummate Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator.

"To think it would be this formidable."

A look of pleasant surprise crossed Seraphina Qu's face as she couldn't help but remark to Eldrin, "With this formation guarding us, I wouldn't fear in the slightest even if a cultivator at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm were to attack."

"Not just because of the formation." Eldrin smiled faintly, then continued, "The power of this 9 Dragons Sundering Heaven Formation draws strength from both the earth veins and spirit veins, but it also depends on the 1 who activates it."

"Were an ordinary Nascent Soul, Early Stage cultivator to wield this treasure, they could at most contend against a Nascent Soul, Great Perfection realm expert. Only when you personally channel power into it can it rival a Half-Step Primordial Spirit mighty figure."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) also nodded in agreement upon hearing this. A great master at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) stage, having summoned their Earth Soul, would see their magical power increase by a full twofold compared to a Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator.

This twofold disparity was like an unbridgeable chasm—even if 3 to 5 Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators joined forces, they would likely stand no chance against a master at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) level.

She, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), possessed a Mythical Immortal Seed, and with the power of the 5 Dragons Wheel, she could contend against 2 cultivators of the same realm. She could truly be called the pinnacle of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

But that was the extent of it. When truly facing a Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) expert, she could only manage to exchange a dozen or so moves at best.

By harnessing the power of the formation, she could bridge the immense gap between them. Just witnessing this '9 Dragons Sundering Heaven Grand Formation' was already truly astonishing.

Recalling the formidable power of this formation, Seraphina Qu declared, "With this formation as our safeguard, I fear not even 1 or 2 Half-Step Primordial Spirits—unless a true Primordial Spirit Lord chooses to intervene."

"Although the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) has now emerged into the world, as long as we maintain a low profile, our safety should already be assured."

Eldrin also nodded in agreement. Those who knew the secret of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool had already sworn binding oaths and would naturally help conceal the truth. The spirit clam tribe of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool should be able to enjoy peace and tranquility for some time to come.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke again, "By the way, I wonder if the Fairy still has any Sea-Soaked Pearls or similar items here? I could exchange some treasures for them."

"Oh?"

Seraphina Qu's eyes lit up, and she spoke as if struck by a sudden thought, "Do you possess any life-extending treasures?"

"Life-extending treasures." A flicker of movement crossed Eldrin's brow as he produced several Grade-5 Longevity Pills. "What do you think of these?"

Longevity Spirit Apricot.

A flicker of delight crossed Seraphina Qu's face, while the several Nascent Soul Spirit Shells beside her also revealed looks of pleasant surprise. This life-extending treasure was precisely what they urgently needed.

Among the demonic beasts between heaven and earth, their lifespans are not necessarily longer than those of the human race—there exist vast differences depending on the species.

Among the powerful demon clans, such as the Primordial Ice Silkworm, the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, and the supreme bloodlines like the Kun Kun Demon Sage, those at the Nascent Soul realm could live for 10 1000 years. Upon reaching the Spirit Transformation realm, a single lifetime spanned 1 100 1000 years—their longevity was a full tenfold that of human Spirit Transformation Dao Lords.

Even those who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm may not necessarily possess a lifespan longer than that of humans. For instance, the Nascent Soul elders of the Mousekin tribe only live for 800 years—barely surpassing the longevity of a human Golden Core cultivator.

It was precisely for this reason that demons with weak bloodlines were fundamentally incapable of cultivating to profound realms. Even those who managed to reach stages beyond Nascent Soul were almost invariably ancient variants with mutated bloodlines.

Just like that crocodile ancestor from the Eastern Wastelands (Location), who was originally a minor demon. By chance, it devoured a spirit fruit, triggering a bloodline evolution that transformed it into the legendary Purple Gold Divine Crocodile. Only then was it able to cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul (Cultivation Realm) stage.

The bloodline of the spirit clam clan at 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) was not entirely inferior, yet even a Nascent Soul stage spirit clam possessed only 2,000 years of lifespan—still falling short of a Human True Monarch. The few spirit clams present here were, in truth, desperately lacking in life-extending treasures.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Clam Clan remained secluded within the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location), detached from worldly affairs, and thus had no means of external trade. It was precisely for this reason that the previous 3 pairs of fifth-order spirit clams had exhausted their lifespan and perished.

At this thought, several Spirit Shell Immortals couldn’t help but cast their gazes toward Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

Seraphina Qu (Person Name), being a Mythical Immortal Seed, naturally possessed an exceptionally long lifespan. Yet at this moment, she could not contain her excitement as she exclaimed, "For our Spirit Clam tribe, this treasure is utterly priceless! Might I inquire about its cost?"

She spoke as she produced 2 Spirit Shell Pearls and a strand of Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root). "We sisters have expended much in our cultivation over these years, and having given you large quantities of spiritual materials, we now have few treasures left in our possession. I wonder if these might suffice for 1?"

At this point, Seraphina Qu felt the treasures she had presented were still insufficient. With palpable reluctance, she retrieved a luminous spirit clam pearl and handed it to Eldrin.

This spirit pearl shone far more brilliantly than ordinary ones, containing energy so potent it dazzled like a full moon.

"Sister!"

The women standing nearby couldn't help but slightly change their expressions upon seeing this, seeming to want to say something in persuasion.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) shook her head, her voice tinged with reluctance as she said, "This is the Life-Bound Pearl Shell left behind by my mother after her nirvanic passing. I wonder how many Life-Extending Spirit Apricots it could exchange for?"

"This—"

Eldrin hesitated slightly, appearing somewhat reluctant to accept it.

Seraphina Qu, however, smiled faintly and said, "My mother was a rare variant among spirit clams known as the Moon Goddess Clam. The Lifebound Pearl she left behind after her passing can assist in cultivation."

"This shell is of no further use to me, and shall remain merely as a keepsake. Yet you, young master, may refine it into a spiritual treasure for long-term use. I only hope you will cherish it dearly and take care not to let it be damaged."

Eldrin (Person Name)眼眸微动，‘月神贝’也是灵贝之中少见的异种，虽然远远不及七彩仙贝这等仙种，但是比起蛟龙一族其实也是丝毫不弱。

The Lifebound Pearl of the Moon Clam can increase a cultivator's rate of absorbing spiritual energy by 50 percent, nearly identical to ordinary fifth-order spirit clam pearls.

The key lies in the fact that this Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) possesses self-restorative properties—as long as it is not excessively depleted, it can perpetually aid 1’s cultivation.

Chapter 1: The Reborn Prodigy The biting northern wind swept across the mountain range, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, blanketing the towering peaks in silvery white. Upon a cliff stood a young man in blue robes, his gaze as deep as the ancient stars. "1 100 years..." Lin Feng murmured to himself, his fingers gently tracing the simple ring on his hand. This was the day he had awaited for a full century—the day the Profound Sky Realm would reopen. A 100 years ago, he had been the most dazzling genius of the Flowing Cloud Sect, but during a secret realm expedition, he was betrayed by his most trusted junior brother and fell into the abyss. By a twist of fate, he obtained the legendary 9 Revolutions Nirvana Art and was reborn in this remote mountain village. "Zhang Tianhao, just you wait." A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. "This time, I will reclaim everything that belongs to me." Suddenly, a burst of noisy chatter came from the mountain path. A group of young cultivators dressed in luxurious robes approached, led by a young man with an arrogant expression. "Move aside, move aside! The young master of the Wang Family is passing through. All lowly cultivators, make way!" Lin Feng remained unmoved, still gazing into the distance. "Hey! Are you deaf?" The arrogant young man strode up to him, his face full of disdain. "I told you to get out of the way! Do you know who I am?" Lin Feng slowly turned his head, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips. "And who might you be?" "I am Wang Tianbao, the eldest son of the Wang Family!" The young man puffed out his chest, the spiritual energy around him faintly stirring. "Our Wang Family has donated 50,000 spirit stones to the Profound Sky Sect. Even the sect leader treats me with respect!" The surrounding cultivators gasped. "50 1000 spirit stones! That's enough to buy a small mountain peak!" "No wonder he's so arrogant. The Wang Family is truly wealthy." "Looks like this blue-robed young man is in for some bad luck." Lin Feng remained calm, his tone indifferent. "50 1000 spirit stones? Is that all?" Wang Tianbao's face flushed red. "You! How dare you look down on our Wang Family? Men, seize this arrogant fool!" 2 burly guards immediately stepped forward, their cultivation at the late Foundation Establishment stage evident from the spiritual pressure they emitted. The surrounding cultivators quickly backed away, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire. Just as the guards were about to make their move, a clear voice rang out. "Stop!" A young girl in white robes descended from the sky, her presence as elegant as an immortal. An exquisite jade hairpin held up her black hair, and a long sword hung at her waist, shimmering with cold light. "It's Fairy Linglong from the Profound Sky Sect!" "The direct disciple of the sect leader! Why would she come to this remote place?" Linglong completely ignored the crowd, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Lin Feng. After a long moment, she spoke softly, her voice tinged with a hint of emotion. "Long time no see... Senior Brother Lin." The entire scene fell into dead silence. Wang Tianbao's face turned as pale as paper, his lips trembling. "Se... Senior Brother Lin? Could he be... that Lin Feng from a 100 years ago?" Lin Feng nodded slightly toward Linglong, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. "It's been a 100 years. You've improved a lot." Linglong's eyes reddened slightly, but she maintained her composure. "The sect leader has ordered that Senior Brother Lin be invited back to the sect. As for the others..." She swept a cold glance around. "Those who disrespect Senior Brother Lin will be dealt with according to the sect rules." Wang Tianbao and his followers immediately fell to their knees, kowtowing repeatedly. "Spare us, Senior Brother Lin! We were blind! We didn't recognize you!" Lin Feng waved his hand indifferently. "Forget it. Those who cultivate should have a compassionate heart." He turned and walked toward the mountaintop, his blue robes fluttering in the wind. In that moment, the onlookers seemed to see the shadow of the legendary prodigy from a 100 years ago. Linglong quietly followed behind, her gaze complex. She knew that the return of this former genius would surely turn the entire cultivation world upside down. And this was merely the beginning.
